That we were able to have such a profitable meeting flows from the interest of those carriers in maintaining a good public image but also from legal advice from Mr Brian Howe. Some time ago I asked Mr Howe to intervene in this case, because of his responsibility for the National Capital Planning Authority, which has a role in the ACT. As a result of my approach, Mr Howe sought legal opinion, and that legal opinion now advises that the ACT appears to be unique in Australia in that there can be some control over these carriers. The Commonwealth Act overrides provisions of States and Territories but does not override provisions of the Commonwealth. It appears that because of the National Capital Plan we are able to exercise control. That background was certainly very helpful in our discussions with the carriers.
We have agreed, as I say, that we will formulate a plan for the future. As we go down that path I will be pursuing the aim that we co-locate towers and use the Black Mountain tower as much as possible, and, in particular, if at all possible, that we avoid our hills because of the special respect we in the ACT pay to them.
Ms Follett: I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.
